ChipMOS subsidiary ThaiLin enters a new testing service agreement

ChipMOS TECHNOLOGIES has announced that its subsidiary ThaiLin Semiconductor Corp. ("ThaiLin"), entered a new long-term semiconductor testing service agreement with Asahi Kasei Microdevices Corporation ("AKM"). The companies have worked together since 1999. 

Under the new testing service agreement, AKM will consign to ThaiLin certain sets of mixed-signal tester equipment. ThaiLin will then utilize the consigned equipment as dedicated capacity to provide semiconductor testing services to AKM. 

Hideki Kobori, President of Asahi Kasei Microdevices Corporation, commented, "ChipMOS has been a strong partner providing high quality, reliable semiconductor testing services to AKM for over 10 years.  Quality control is critical to us for our reputation and is demanded by the customers we serve.  ChipMOS has helped AKM excel and grow our business since our first cooperation.  Since Japan was visited by the Great East Japan Earthquake on March 11, AKM has worked to further fortify its supply chain. This latest agreement is an important solution as we strive to meet our customers' expectations by providing geographic diversification."

S.J. Cheng, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of ChipMOS, said, "We are pleased to extend our ten-year plus business relationship with AKM.  With AKM consigning equipment to ThaiLin we can provide critical testing services and a facility without making a capex investment.  Importantly, the new business is expected to bring wafer level chip scale packaging (WLCSP) technology, which together with our existing LCD driver business, will further expand our penetration of the global smartphone and tablet computer market."
